A sad ending to a wonderful bird.

As Ed Lewis used to say, flying it was the most fun you can have with your clothes on. But it was not just the machine, the fun and the friends, this airplane made significant contributions to both basic scientific knowledge and to remote sensing technology. Seems like it should be on a pedestal instead of the rubbish heap... |
